Do you love birds? Whether it’s the hummingbirds in your garden, the shorebirds running along the beach, or the swallows gracing the skies, birds bring joy to millions of people and play an important role in our ecosystems. Unfortunately, more than half of the bird species in the United States and Canada are declining, and they could use your help! In this presentation you will learn about the science behind the recent estimated loss of almost 3 billion birds from North America, what kinds of birds were most affected, which have increased, and how patterns of loss vary across the biomes of our continent. You may be surprised at what you learn! Arvind Panjabi will also discuss what is contributing to these declines, what conservation groups like the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and others are doing to help stop the declines and how each of us in our daily lives can help make our shared spaces a healthy place for both birds and people.

Arvind Panjabi is a Senior Research Scientist at Bird Conservancy of the Rockies in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he works to conserve birds of western North America through an integrated approach involving science, education and land stewardship.

This program is free and the public is welcomed.
